Status: Unconfirmed Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Bug Pri-2 OS-All Area-Misc New issue 23943 by schivmeister: [Feature Request][Omnibox] Add a button to change search engine and remain independent http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23943
Chrome Version : 4.0.221.2 (Developer Build 27944) What is the expected result? A user should be able to switch the search engine in-line without having to edit the settings or type the keyword for one every single time a search warrants a different engine. This would require a button element, preferably beside the "Favourites" one. Many users do not like to have to type anything besides their search terms or address, so requiring that they type out a keyword to search with a different engine is not intuitive in this case. What this can directly result in is an independent engine for each tab, since Chrome is inherently tab-oriented. In browsers such as Firefox, changing the search engine in one tab changes it globally. On the other hand, in Opera, it works similar to this feature request. What happens instead? A user needs to type the keyword of the non-default search engine to search with it. Such a function should be usable upon application startup, but without a button or obvious documentation it is not. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
